General keifer having been selected by
the statue committee to deliver the ora
ton at the unveiing of the statue of Gar
field. at Washington. some of his enemies
are trying 10 make trouble about it. This
seems to lis to be a small business General
keifer was a brave soldier. and distin-
guiShed associate of General Garfield in
congress, and he would deliver fine ora
ton.
All of this is quite true. The newspaper
correspondents made an objectionable

Cumberland with the Grafton at the unveil-
ing. jumping to the conclusion and making
the statement that another orator had been
substituted for General Keifer twas these

grossly and gratuitously tried to insult our
distinguished townsman. This executive
committee We hold in high esteem. as sold

They are Being Placed on Exhibition at
Washington.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 29.-The
Grant relics, which have been for sew
eral months safely guarded in one of
the private rooms of the National
Museum are to-day being placed on
exhibition. Two handsome plush
lined cases, filled with articles from
the collection have been placed in the
north hall Of the museum, near the
main entrance. They contained the
presentation swords, gold-headed
canes, caskets, medallions, and many
other costly and elegant articles, pre-
sented by different people at different
times to Gen. Grant. Many OF these
articles are souvenirs of his trip
around the world. There is q splen-
did collection of Japanese coins, one
series of seven pieces, old Japanese
gold coins of huge size, being valued at
$4,000. There are also invitation
cards, menu cards, and reminders of
entertainments given in his honor, en-.
crossed on gold plates. One invita-
tion card to g. masked ball given at
San Francisco, upon Gen. Grants ar
rival at that city on his return from
his famous tour, is engraved on solid
gold, and was enclosed in silver en-
velope with the address engraved upon
it. In the right hand corner is a.
2-cent stamp, and in the left the usual
eff not delivered in ten days, return

their historical interest are OF great
intrinsic value.

FIGHTING JAY GOULD,

in the East.

A War in Telegraph Rates Inaugurated
in the East.
NEW YORK, April 3O.-The Western
Union Telegraph Company has found
an unexpected competitor in tele-
graphic communication with Califor-
MIA. The Postal Telegraph Company,
in union with the Baltimore & Ohio
and United Lines Company, makes a
bid for the business between the East
and West by announcing that it will
transmit messages at the rate of ten
words for 81. This is a cut of one
third in the old rates of the Western
Union Company, which has hitherto
had a monopoly in that section. A
still bigger cut and more important
one was made in the rates for money
orders, and henceforth money orders
can be telegraphed at rate of so per
cent. less than that hitherto main
tanned by the company of which Jay
Gould is the controlling owner. Here
tofore the rate to San Francisco was
as high as that to Europe. 1t is not
thought that the Western Union will
meet the cut at present, but should
that company decide to meet the cut
on money orders, it is possible that
the consolidated companies will send
such transfers free of charge.

Steve Carlyle Kicks His Wife to Death at
Chicago.
CHICAGO, l.,IApril 28.-The police at
the Thirty-ffth Street station un-
earthed most shocking case of bru-
tally yesterday afternoon. Steve
Carlyle, a strapping, six foot stock
yards hand, living in the rear of 3316
South Halstead Street, came home
drunk about three weeks ago and
beat his wife, a little woman who
weighs not over 100 pounds. Neigh
bors went into the Carlyle house, and
found the woman in bed, black and
blue from the bruises inflicted by her
husband, and surrounded by three
pretty little children, all in O. starving
condition. Still, strange to say, these
women did not report the matter to
the police, and the only explanation
they gave the reporter for not doing
SO was that they ''didn't want to in
terfere between man and wife," Car
lyle came home frequently after that,
nearly always drunk, but made no ef-
fort to relieve the wants Of his injured
wife and her children, or even to pro-
cure her medical attendance. Yester-
day the wOman's brother, Mike Davis,
visited the family and was Mortified
to find his sister and her children in
such condition. He called Dr.. T. P.
Crane, who found that she had half g.
dozen ribs broken and was injured so
badly that recovery is impossible. The
city physician was called and had her
removed to the county hospital where
she died this noon. Thelittle children
were left with Mrs. Mckee, who will
take care of them until other provis-
ion is made. Mrs. Carlyle made an
ante-mortem statement, in which she
charged her husband with having
kicked and beaten her in g. brutal
manner.

IGN ORENG THE Law.

All Eastern Roads Returning to the Pass
System for Stockmen.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 3O.-Now but
two Eastern lines, the Vandalia and
the Ohio & Mississippi, refuse to grant
passes and in consequence are losing
nearly all their live stock traffic.
They get no stock at all for competing
points. Il is understood that the
Vandalia plainly seeing the effects en-
tailed by it's isolated position is anx-
ious to give such passes if it's Eastern
connection, the Pan Handle, would
join in the concession. The Wabash
is giving return passes from
Toledo and the indianapolis &
ST. Louis from Cleveland, and
it is not believed that the other lines
will long hold out in their refusal to
make similar concessions.

The Southern Cyclone, Accompanied by
Hail, at St. Paul.
The hardest hail storm ever known
there swept over ST. Paul on the al
ternoor Of the 1st inst. 1t was &C
companied by tornado and lasted
20 minutes in It's full force, but in that
time nearly S5U, 600 worth of damage
was done. The storm was slow in
coming aud was headed by mass of
dark acknowledging clouds which
broke up into trailing sweeps before
they reached the city. Heavy rain fell
for ten minutes and then the hail
came. After tie storm stones meas.
uripg eleven inches in circumfer-
ence, weighing four and one
half ounces were picked up.
| The damage was confined mostly
to window glass broken, only few
small houses being blown down.
Nearly every public building in the
city suffered more or less. The state
capitol looks as though a gstling gun
had been trained on it for half an
hour. A stone weighing four ounces
was shot through the stained glass
sky light Of the Ryan Hotel, making a
clean hole not much larger than the
circumference of the missile. This
popularity was noticeable in many
cases, the holes in the large windows
being small and round like those made
by cannon ball. Nearly every church
in the city was riddled, and the loss
to this property will reach thousands
of dollars. Many very expensive
memorial windows were broken In
the residence portion of the city thou
sands of windows were smashed. tt
is estimated that the average loss in
the whole city is $3.50 to the block. In
some places sidewalks were torn up
and thrown across the street Car lines,
blocking travel. No loss of life has
been reDOrtpd

HARTFORD, Conn. April 28.-During
the exercises in memory of Gen. Grant
last evening the following curious Sta
tistics in regard to the man.
ufacture OF the Personal Mem
oirs of Gen. Grant," were read:
In binding the cloth books there was
44,359 square yards of cloth used, Or
if put in one piece it would make 8
strip one yard wide aud 25 l-5 miles
long. The gold used in stamping, let
tering, etc., on all styles OF binding, It
coined, would make ST. 5, 446.47. The
price paid the gold heaters for this
gold was $21, $3.50. SO. There were 276
barrels of binder paste used, weighing
about $4,000 pounds. There were H.
S82 sheepskins used, 1921 goatskins
and 1873 calfskins. AS none OF these
skins were split, it represents,
of course, the killing of an equal num-
Der OF animals. There were about
3O2,21O reams OF paper used in the
printing, which weighed about 1,813,-
$50 pounds or 9O6A tons. This put
into one piece would make O. strip 2
feet wide and 1,682% miles long. I'll
the books were piled up in one row
the narrowest way, that is, the same
as they wonld stand In book case,
it would take shelf 19R miles long to
hold them. If the pages OF the books
were joined together it would make g.
strip of paper 6 inches wide and g.
7291b miles long. Forty-one steam
presses were working day and night;
over 1000 operatives were employed;
and over 1000 agents engaged in dis
tributing the book. To these latter,
who were mainly old soldiers and
the widows of soldiers, was paid in
commissions for the selling Of the book
considerably more than $1,000, 600
in cash

Western Roads Offer Free Transporta-

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April ga local
paper says the western railroads do
not make any attempt at concealing
their plans in regard to issuing passes
to cattle men. They contend that
while men are engaged in the trans
portatlon of cattle they are as much
employees of the road as though their
names were on the payroll. The
Eastern roads, however, denied their
patrons this privilege with the result
of driving from the market some OF
the leading buyers who transferred
their orders to Chicago, where they
had the benefit of the Grand Trunk
cut rate. In self-defense, the Indian

turned to the pass system. Chicago

pope to be officially invited to resume the
former splendid ceremonies at ST. Peters,
and reside sometimes at Gandolfo. In
short, that Italy will claim the privilege of
protecting the Holy See, and the pope will
support Italy's foreign and colonial policy.
Many of the cardinals, it is said, oppose
the scheme on the ground that Italy wants
the pope who is able to do without italy.

The pretext for demanding new CO.
ercion measures for Ireland is the al
legged increase OF crime on that i'll
starred island, and yet statistics
show that in England the ratio of
prisoners to population is one in l.
200, while in Ireland it is one in l.
600. The absurdity, not to say in
justice, of such a plea is enough to
make even g. bald-headed Tory tear
his hair, but facts have little weight
where race and prejudices are once
aroused. 1t is the apparent purpose
OF the Tories to kill home rule by a
policy of perpetual irritation, but in
this thew will most certainly fail.
